The Cherokee Georgian The Profits of Farming. The farmer who resides within reach of a good market, where everything he can produce will command a ready sale at fair prices, and where nothing goes to waste, has a decided advantage over the farmer who lives farther from market and only de pends upon such staple articles of produce as grain, stock, etc. The perishable arti cles, which he can not handle, yield the largest profits. The advantages of a good home market are well illustrated by the following table, taken from the last volume of the Agricultural Report. It shows the average cash value of farm products per ficre in each State and in the Territories: Av. value States. per acre. Maine sl4 16 N. Hampshire. 19 50 Vermont 17 87 Massachusetts. 31 10 Rhode Island. 34 00 Connecticut... 33 94 New York ... 22 94 New Jersey... 27 96 Pennsylvania. 20 80 Delaware 13 24 Maiyland 15 22 Virginia.'.... 14 15 N.

The value of the land must be determined, therefore, not so much by its productive qualities as by its market facilities. The farmer who can get as much money out of ten acres of ground, with half the labor, as can be obtained by his brother from twenty acres, can afford to pay very much more for bis ten acres than his brother pays for his twenty acres. The saving of one-half the labor is not for one year only, but is a p; rp'-tual advantage. The farmer therefore, who goes far away from market,.in order to get cheap lands, will discover that the purchase price of binds should not be considered so much as the market facilities. A Pancue Larger than Rhobb Is land. —The Denver (Col.) News says the ranche of Bosque Grange, New Mexico, was sold to Col. R. D. Hunter, of St. Louis, the other day, for $219,000, one half cash down. The purchase includes the 30,000 head of cattle now on the ranche. During the past summer Mr. Chisuxi has sold to Colorado, Kansas City and St. Louis buy ers about 20,000 head of beef cattle. Be sides these, he has supplied some 8,000 head to contractors in Ne/v Mexico and Arizona. The ranche extends-* along the Pecos rives from Fort Sumner to Seven Rivers, a dis tance of 150 miles. This is its scope north and south. East and west it extends as far as a man, mounted on a good horse, can ride during one summer: practically, as far on each side of the stream as stock can range without water. The range on both tides of the river is high, rolling prairie, covered with a thick, heavy growth of black gramma, a most nutritious grass. During this last summer the grass over much of this area has stood knee high to cattle. The residence buildings are situated in the cen ter of the ranche. Stations, or cow campr, are located on the river at intervals of 30 and 40 miles. Two hundred herders have been employed on the ranche the past sum mer. Atone time this season the horses numbered 6,000 head. A successful raid by redskins reduced this number to about 1,000. Col. Hunter, the purchaser of this vast estate, will engage more extensively than Mr. Chisum in the breeding business. He has just bought 200 saddle horses for use at the February round up. Dish-Washing without Soap—Have your water quite hot, and add a very little milk to it. This softens the water, gives the dishes a fine gloss and preserves the hands: it removes the gieaso, even that from beef, nnd vet no grease is ever found floating on the water as when soap is used. The stone vessels should be set on the stove with a little water in them, when the vict uals arc taken from them ; thus they are hot when one is ready to wash them, and the grease is easily removed. Tinware keeps bright longer cleansed in this way than by using s<np or by scouring. The habit so many of us have acquired of scour ing tins-ia wasteful po icv; the present style of tinware will not Iwar it. Good Paste.—Paste that will keep un changed in warm weather may be made in the following manner: Put a teaspoonful of powdered alum in two quarts of water and let it boil, mix a pint of flour smoothly into n pint of cold water, and stir it into the boiling alum water, continuing the boiling and stirring until the flour Is cooked and the whole is dear, like starch. Add to this nlvevnt half a trksp* onfnl ol essential oil of cloves ordntmmou, strain through a wire guaze dr perforated tin strainer, and bottle in wide mouthed i ir, \v hich should be cork ed to keep out dust.

REPAIRING made a specialty. b I recommend the above firm to n gener ous public, and ask for them the patronage ii itLds extended to me. JOHN A. M EBB A_ Card. To the citizens of Cherokee comity : After having been engaged for nine years in the mercantile busi ness in your midst, I have become convinced that the credit system is all wrong. To follow it, a merchant has either to charge enormous pre fits, or ruin himself by selling en rime. Those of you whs pay promptly have to pay such largo • profits that the merchants can af ford to lose the accounts of yonr neighbors who are not disposed to pay, or who are unfortunate and can not pay. In other words, good rr.cn have to pay for the goods pur chased by their unfortunate or dishonest neighbors. This state es things is wrong, and when a man is satisfied that ho is wrong he j should change his course, or be held responsible for living in the ' wrong. | Fully convinced that the above ' position is correct, I have deter ! mined to sell, after the Ist of De- I comber next, exclusively for cash or barter. I can and will sell at ' least twenty per cent, cheaper, the stock through, than I have ever sold. lam in favor of every per son paying for hi" own goods, and hope none of my old customers and friends will be offended when I say to them that after the Ist es December I will sell for cash er barter quly. 1 will be no respecter of persons, will require cash from evsry one, and positively will net open my books to charge any item, bo it ever so small, t<» the best man 'in the county. If you have cash or barter, call and examine my stock and prices before purchas ing elsewhere, and you will then be fully satisfied with my new de parture. I charge nothing for ex hibiting goods, or giving prices, and when you have examined the one and heard the other, you will then be convinced it is to your in terest to pay as you go. All those who are indebted te me, or to the firm of McAfee A Moss, must come forward and make immediate settlements. This is my last call. Very respectfully, 15-lm J. M. McAFEB. i
